AN AUTHENTIC TUSCAN FARM HOUSE APARTMENT WITH WONDERFUL VIEWS
Casa Terra Rossa is a charming first floor apartment within an authentic Tuscan farm house. The property offers the perfect base for a couple, small family or a group of close friends to enjoy a rural Tuscan holiday situated on a family run farm nestled in a beautiful Tuscan landscape.
A SWIMMING POOL WITH A DREAMY VIEW
The large pool sits on a grassy terrace with stunning views over olive groves, vines and Cypress trees. The large decking area has deck chairs, sun loungers, sunshades and an external shower. The pool is shared with just 4 other properties on the farm estate. Close to the pool area is a shaded terrace where you can relax in the shade with a good book or sip a beer or two!
Pool dimensions 15 x 7.5 metres, Depth 1 - 1.50 metres
RURAL TUSCAN FARMSTAY
The property is situated on a family run farm which produces an extra virgin olive oil, red wine, honey and a quality salami produced from the prize ‘Cinta Sinese’ pig which carries a certification of quality and guarantees a genuine Tuscan product. The farm produce is also available to buy direct from the owners.
The whole farm consists of 4 residential properties all offering private corners to relax and unwind, in addition to a private garden.
IDEAL FOR A COUPLE, SMALL FAMILY OR CLOSE GROUP OF FRIENDS
The apartment has two bedrooms which interconnect to each other. For example, you walk through the first twin bedroom (this can also be prepared as a double) through to the next bedroom (a door does separate the two rooms) which has a double/queen size bed in addition to a single. The setup is rather cosy, so therefore we recommend the apartment to families or close friends.
RUSTIC KITCHEN/DINING/LOUNGING ZONE
Like so many Tuscan houses the kitchen is the heart of the home, this is where the family meals are prepared, served and enjoyed and the family or group of friends gather around the table to chat and drink wine.
The Kitchen at Casa Terra Rossa is a wonderfully Tuscan with views from evry window over the stunning surrounding scenery. This a typical Tuscan kitchen a place to eat, drink and relax. The typically stone built kitchen is simple but allows for guests to prepare meals at home. There is also a small sofa and a romantic open fire place for cooler nights.

About Marie and Lorenzo

The property was inherited by the current owner and host Giovanna and her family. Before embarking in hospitality Giovanna worked as an international lawyer in the nearby city of Florence however, today she spends most of her days preparing to meet her guests not only at Casa Giovanna but also at the family's other nearby properties which offer its guests a farm stay opportunity. Giovanna's brother works the surrounding farm land and breeds a domestic pig from the region of Tuscany known as Cinta Senese. The Cinta Senese pig carries a DOP status which indicates a high quality product with protected designation of origin. in addition the family also produces a high quality extra virgin olive oil.

Giovanna speaks perfect English and looks forward to welcoming you to Carbonaia.

Marie and Lorenzo are the property managers who help Giovanna with the booking process in addition to assisting guests with ideas of what they can do and see in the area. They are based in the nearby Medieval town of Vicopisano which is approximately 35 minutes away. They are able to assist in organising cooking courses and private chefs in addition to wine tours, taxi's and private drivers should you need them.

Why Marie and Lorenzo chose Palaia

The farm estate has been handed down through the generations. The family business had been in quarrying stone in the nearby area. The business had been extremely successful and the family invested in a farm with lots of land. Over the years part of the farm had been sold off however, many buildings and land still remain. Most of the buildings are now holiday/vacation rentals and part of the land is still used for farming and the production of olive oil in addition to landscaped gardens and a pool terrace.

What makes this apartment unique

Farm holidays offer the traveller a unique insight into the rural life in Tuscany where a traditional life still exists outside the bigger cities and more popular tourist areas. The properties at the farm retain original features such as beamed ceilings, terracotta paved floors and open fire places. The interiors offer rustic simplicity with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Children will delight in having plenty of space to explore and rediscover nature. Adults will love the tranquility and the chance to discover a more authentic Tuscany.
